"Keladry." Her aunt greeted her with a warm smile."Aunt Francis." She greeted, somewhat stiffly.
The woman didn't seem to notice, or if she did, didn't comment. Instead, she asked, "And who is this handsome young man?"
Kel would've liked very much to blush. She pushed it down, however, and answered with a small smile, "This is Sergeant Domitian of Masbolle."
The woman inclined her head graciously. "It's always nice to meet the man my niece fancies."
Color exploded on the lady knights cheeks. Beside her, Dom tried very hard to keep his laughter down. It was hard. "Nice to meet you to, Lady Francis."
She laughed. "Why don't you kids go off and have fun? I'll talk to you later! Enjoy the party!"
Kel was all too glad to get away from the embarrassing woman. She could still feel the blush on her cheeks.
After they were well out of hearing, Dom began to laugh. "Well, that was quite interesting." He managed between loud guffaws.
They walked over to the drink table, ignoring the odd looks being thrown at them.
"Interesting?!" She snorted. "More like bloody embarrassing."
He just continued to laugh. "For you, maybe. For me, it was very humorous."
She shot him a dirty look. "Of course you would take amusement from my suffering."
He bowed, a grin lighting his face. "Would you care to dance, my beautiful lady knight?"
She looked around, and, seeing everyone's eyes on the two of them, sighed. "Well, I guess I have to now. Humph." She smiled back as she said it, however, showing him that she was only teasing.
They moved out to the dance floor in silence. Only when they're bodies were steadily swaying to the music did she speak. "Dom, I'm glad you came. If you hadn't, I would've not made it past the door." She tried very hard not to look down as she made this confession, and instead looked him straight in his glorious blue eyes.
He chuckled softly, causing her heart to beat faster. "Aww...Does ickle Kel need a big, bad sergeant to protect her?"
She screeched indignantly, causing more curious glances to be sent their way. Before she could comment further, however, a throat was being cleared behind her. They both let go of the other and turned towards the person.
Kel smiled when she saw her mother and father standing there.
"Mama, Papa, this is Sergeant Domitian of Masbolle."
Her parents greeted him with warm smiles. "Nice to meet you, sergeant. Glad to see that my daughter finally has someone in her life." She was blushing. Again. "Welcome to the family." Kel would have dearly liked to bang her head on the nearest wall. Hard. Unfortunately, that was not an option at the moment.
Dom said, voice laced with humor, "Since I'm part of the family, why don't you call me Dom?"
Her parents smiled. "Hmm...your much more polite than her other friend...Neal, I believe his name is."
Dom, for the second time that night, found it almost impossible to contain his laughter. "Neal is my cousin, milady. Luckily, we are nothing alike."
Kel, who was also rather close to laughter, snorted. "You are exactly like him, Dom, and don't try denying it."
He pretended to be offended. "How dare you insult me like that, Kel! To say I'm like the Meathead! Humph!"
Her parents, who had been watching in amusement, asked, "Meathead?"
Kel grinned at their confusion. "It's a pet name Dom made up for Neal. We all use it now, too."
Her parents smiled slightly. "Well, we'll leave you two alone to return to your dancing." Ilaine winked at her daughter, causing Kel to blush for the third time that night.
She heaved a sigh of relief when they disappeared into the crowd.
Kay, I swear the next chapter will be much better, and more interesting. and longer. this was just to get it to where it needed to be for certain events to happen. So, review! and please, show mercy!
